Online support

How approaches like attachment work online

Donna combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people test new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting to each person's pace so they feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete skills for changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Donna treats this as a collaborative process and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try a method, check progress, and adjust the plan when needed.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a shorter check-in. Chat and messaging let you share thoughts between appointments or keep a running log of progress. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and make consistent support more accessible.
